I always love being present at the birth of urban legends. So I would like to confirm that it is fact, as reported in thelondonpaper that Sarah Palin actually did claim to be able to see Russia from her house.
I love Student Edition Question Time. They get the best looking politicians they can find from the main parties, that weeble lady from the Lib Dems, and a spectacularly self-righteous “student representative” (in this case a girl who claimed having ID cards were just like being in Auschwitz) and, of course, add Shami Chakrabati.
My own personal favourite quote from the by now infamous “Babes Of The BNP” article is :
In terms of the BNP’s repatriation policy on immigration, if you had to choose, who would you repatriate first – Dizzee Rascal or Tinchy Stryder?
Dizzee Rascal. I know this is gonna sound horrible, because he’s the one who’s the most, like… because, my problem is that when immigrants come over to this country, they try and bring in their own churches and languages. And I think he expresses himself more as like an African or whatever he is, whereas Tinchy Stryder is more American. That’s the difference.
Select your own. (And yes I know it’s the epitome of fish in a barrel stuff and the sort of thing that’s probably making things, but liberals need mindless fun too)
You know what’s a fun word to say? Quango. Quango, quango, quango.
